Chapter 1135: Chapter 86: This Is the Governmental Office’s Seal of Loyalty

The Sea Monk, a great demon in Fusang mythology, is usually depicted as a tall bald monk.

In reality, it’s actually the Sea Serpent Clan.

The widespread Guanyin Followers of Gray Leather in coastal Fusang began as a beautiful misunderstanding—ignorant fishermen who saw the smooth bald head of the sea serpents in the ocean mistook them for monks.

In fact, Gray Leather Guanyin has nothing to do with Guanyin at all.

The naming convention of Fusang people has always been strange. Take Yokan, for example; it has neither sheep nor broth. Its real prototype was an ancient Ming Country snack made with sweet bean paste shaped like sheep liver, called sheep liver cake, which was brought to Fusang and became Yokan.

Similarly, ‘letter paper’ doesn’t refer to toilet paper, but actually means letters.

However, the Sea Monk who was cut down last night was indeed a Sea Monk—a transformed sea snake spirit.

Both the Sea People and sea snakes can be naturalized, so it’s inevitable that one or two odd varieties would emerge within such a vast group.

This particular Sea Monk’s business was similar to Liusheng Dojo, though focused on the lower end.

Low-end does not mean unprofitable. The sailors who come ashore are the primary consumer group; they have money in their pockets and spend it freely.

From another perspective, not all Fusang women working abroad are top-quality.

High-end custom services have their reasons for being expensive, while the low-end consumer market has its cheap demands.

If it’s just purely about business, then that’s it.

You know how it goes, you drive a diesel-fueled ship with pig’s feet, Grandpa will turn a blind eye because Grandpa also needs pig’s feet rice after work.

But now the Sea Monk is dead, a long serpent was revealed and cut into two, and the whereabouts of dozens of people under him are unknown.

Then don’t blame Grandpa for pulling out his iron dragonfly and boiling the water.

“The National Salvation Warriors Association has been seeking to resurrect Yamata Orochi, and in addition to the large amount of sacrifices, they must also restore the three divine artifacts used to summon Yamata Orochi.”

Yan Yu’an was explaining to Yagyu Junko, while also speaking to Han Bin and Wang Yunxiao.

“Namely, the Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven, the Mirror of Eight Handbreadths, and the Eight-foot Hook Jade.”

“These were originally the divine artifacts of Fusang used to stabilize the national fortune. When Emperor of Heaven sacrificed the entire nation to summon Orochi, he also offered these three artifacts, burying them inside Orochi.”

“After Yamata Orochi was slain by the Master of Ten Thousand Transformations, the three artifacts fell into the hands of the exiled Samurai, the predecessor of the National Salvation Warriors Association. Later, they summoned the remnants of Yamata Orochi’s body on the Dagu coast, aiming to launch an attack, which led to the ‘Blood Rain’ incident back then. After Orochi’s remnants were destroyed, the three artifacts were confiscated by the Ming Country’s government and split into nine items.”

Yan Yu’an showcased the Hook Jade he held.

“The Eight-foot Hook Jade was split into three, forged into the Lihuo, Gui Water, and Gang Wind hook jades, respectively given to the Kondo family, who made significant contributions in eradicating Orochi.”

“The Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven was split into three, forged into Liquor Saucer, Izumo, and Impermanence weapons, preserved by the Special Service Bureau.”

“The Mirror of Eight Handbreadths was split into three, forged into Sumeru, Yin Yang, and Shaoguang mirrors, entrusted to the Qianjin Church for safekeeping.”

“With all three hook jades gathered, they can be reintegrated into the Eight-foot Hook Jade, summoning part of Yamata Orochi’s power. The same principle applies to the other three swords and mirrors.”

“Therefore, sensing that this might be another attempt by the National Salvation Warriors Association to resurrect Orochi, I rushed to the Yagyu Association Hall immediately, but still arrived a bit late.”

“Miss Yagyu, Ono Taro appearing in your household was not a coincidence; he had long visited and tangled with you, correct?”

Upon hearing this, Wang Yunxiao suddenly realized.

Yan Yu’an urgently called him and Han Bin, the bathing was secondary; the true purpose was to surround the samurai who sliced the Sea Monk.

The National Salvation Warriors Association had already acquired a Hook Jade and wanted the one from the Yagyu family, but the Yagyu family obviously wouldn’t easily hand over the Hook Jade.

Business is business, chaos is chaos. This is the official recognition from Ming Country; why stop good business and get tangled up with them just out of boredom?

If the National Salvation Warriors Association doesn’t offer enough benefits to entice them, they have to resort to force.

But this is just a guess by Yan Yu’an, without concrete evidence, so he didn’t elaborate to Wang Yunxiao or Han Bin.

They’re all buddies.

He chose to trust their acting and ability to adapt.

Unfortunately, the person wasn’t cornered, Ono Taro… Yan Yu’an wasn’t particularly interested in small fry.

After Yagyu Junko calmed down, she also understood the situation, paused, and asked in a low voice, “Why do you have the Kondo family’s Hook Jade?”

Yan Yu’an smiled and replied, “The descendants of the Kondo family have already changed names and settled in Tianmen as the People of Ming. And the Kondo family’s Iga ninja army currently works for me, so you don’t have to worry about the rabbit dying and the dog being boiled. As long as they truly naturalize, we treat everyone equally.”

Yagyu Junko patted her chest, relieved, and said, “Master, you speak casually, but I was scared out of my wits. If I hadn’t made that call, weren’t you really about to slaughter my household…”

“Exactly.”

Yagyu Junko: “???”

Yan Yu’an straightforwardly admitted, “The two warriors I brought are notorious for destroying flowers. Even faced with a naked beauty, they won’t hesitate when it’s time to act. I brought them precisely to execute an extermination.”

“However, Miss Yagyu, your stance is very firm, and you made the correct decision, leaving us no chance to act.”

You really upset me by saying that.

Wang Yunxiao complained inwardly.

What does it mean to destroy flowers; Han Bin is the one known for it, stabbing Cheng Xuefei into paralysis with one sword, yet shamelessly coveting her.

When did I ever do such a thing?

I…

When I take action, I don’t discriminate by age or gender; that’s called equal treatment, dedication!

You’re not only insulting my character but also harming my reputation!

If you don’t invite me to bathe at Liusheng Dojo again, this matter won’t settle.

“Then what do you want me to do?”

Yagyu Junko cautiously queried.

“It’s simple, three days from now, bring your family’s Hook Jade and accompany me to attend their sacrificial ceremony.”

Yan Yu’an seriously stated, “Select eight of the strongest swordsmen from your dojo; I promise to ensure the safety of you and your disciples.”
